Features: This book comprehensively and systematically introduces the concepts, principles, and typical technical methods of software engineering. It aims to bridge the gap between theory and practical application in the field of software engineering, focusing on practicality while introducing the latest research findings and mature practical experiences. What sets it apart from similar textbooks includes the organic integration of object-oriented and structured methods, emphasis on standardization and process improvement, and highlighting project management and software testing. The book consists of 11 chapters, divided into three parts: Part I includes Chapters 1-3, introducing the origin of software engineering, software process models, and CMM. Part II includes Chapters 4-8, covering stages such as requirements analysis, system design, program development, and software testing in the order of the software life cycle. Chapter 5 specifically discusses the fundamental principles of object-oriented methods. Part III includes Chapters 9-11, focusing on software project management techniques, including software metrics, project management, and case studies of project management. The appendix briefly introduces the Unified Modeling Language (UML). This book can serve as a textbook or teaching reference for "Software Engineering" courses in higher education institutions, as well as for software engineering professionals with practical experience and a broad audience of computer users.
